Labor lies and dodge balls

LABOR has no plan for small business other than to roll back tax cuts putting a handbrake on jobs and growth and even then can't be up front about it, Minister for Small Business Michael McCormack says.

"In a doorstop interview today the Shadow Treasurer squirmed his way around Labor's plans to jack up taxes on small and medium businesses, winding back the Turnbull Government's legislated tax cuts," Mr McCormack said.

"The consistent narrative the Labor Party is weaving tells a story of no policy and greater uncertainty while stifling job creation and growth for small businesses in Australia.

"Shadow Treasurer Chris Bowen today openly stated Labor will continue to block tax cuts and when asked about Labor's policy platform he had no response!

"It is ridiculous the Shadow Treasurer has taken the political position tax cuts grow our economy and create jobs is a bad idea, after explicitly outlining his true position in his book reducing company tax is 'a Labor thing'.

"But it is not surprising, it is the terrifying economic mismanagement and misunderstanding peddled by the Labor party which doesn't understand our economy.
